25 DIME - NORTHERN ILLINOIS HUSKIES
25 DIME - CONNECTICUT HUSKIES
60 DIME - EAST CAROLINA PIRATES - I know about Arkansas, and how explosive they can be, but don't take East Carolina for granted.
It is very hard to cover a 7 1/2 number with a pass defense ranked 104th out of 119 teams in division one.
Skip Holtz has always been a great dog coach as evidenced by his 22-7-1 mark getting points anywhere on the planet earth.
This is solid line value I can't pass up with a team that has better offensive and defensive lines and believe it or not, more experience at QB with 6th year senior Pinkney.
They are familiar with high-powered passing games having faced Houston, and other pass happy offenses in Conference USA so they will be prepared to slow down Arkansas.
The determining factor for me is just how well this East Carolina team played down the stretch and I will gladly back them here in what I feel will be a game that comes down to the wire.
And I don't care what anybody says, coaching DNA favors a Holtz before it favors a Petrino. Enough said.
25 DIME - NORTHERN ILLINOIS HUSKIES -Where does South Florida get the motivation?
I mean, let's hang out in Toronto to play a team from the MAC?
So many of these bowl games are about teams that want to be there. Teams that will play like it means something. Northern Illinois will be that team today.
It's starts with Wisconsin and just how dominate they were over Miami-Florida the other night.
Well guess what folks? This NIU team went into Wisconsin and almost got the outright win as a 16-point underdog before losing 28-20.
I have to question the rumors surrounding head coach Levitt choking another player, and the overall focus of this Bulls squad.
They finished the year covering just 2 of their last 7 games while NIU covered 4 of their last 6.
I will gladly roll with the gritty underdog getting more than a touchdown with the # 1 rushing attack in the MAC and a great redzone team as well.
You are able to run the ball in college and you will be successful in any bowl game. See Wisconsin for a reference.
25 DIME - CONNECTICUT HUSKIES - This is a live dog.
In their 6 games this year as an underdog Uconn has covered all 6, and truth be told they should have won 4 of the 6 SU, instead of 2.
The amazing thing about this Huskies team is they are a couple of plays away from playing in a much bigger bowl game instead of this one here because as you are about to see they could be 12-0.
The lost a heartbreaker at home 12-10 to North Carolina. 24-21 at Pitt. A tough 28-24 loss at West Virginia. A devasting 28-24 loss at home to Rutgers, and a 47-45 score-fest at Cincinnati.
So as you can see this team could very easily be 12-0 folks. That is just how consistent Randy Edsall's team has been all year long.
If that isn't enough for you just know UConn was one of the top ATS teams in the entire country covering 9 of their 11 games this year.
They failed to cover the -7 number at home to Rutgers, and a -7 1/2 number at home to South Florida. They have paid out like an ATM machine all year long, and I will go to the bank with them one more time today.
I know all about the SEC and their speed, but I can't get past just how strong UConn has played all year.
I've been burned by Spurrier the last few years in bowls watching his teams play uninspired football, and furthermore I don't trust Stephen Garcia at QB either.
You throw in the fact the SEC is 0-5 SU and ATS last 5 bowls versus the Big East and for my dollar I will go down swinging with the live dog Uconn to end the season a perfect 7-0 ATS this year.
